You can't expect civil servants to liaise with TTS or with the Bus Company to get something right that a little commn sense could perhaps have seen.
It snowed yesterday. Some melted on the roads. The skies were clear overnight and it froze. It being Jersey you can guarantee (1) that the roads will not be salted or gritted properly and (2) that most Jersey drivers will not be up to the task where the roads are not treated properly by the authorities. Ergo, chaos.
Of course the buses didn't run initially. But there was little liaison there.
With hindsight or indeed foresight it would have been better to close the schools today rather than create utter confusion. Anyone in the private sector would be in for a severe reprimand or the sack! No one can even say sorry.

- "The police are warning drivers that road conditions are dangerous and that should only venture out if necessary."

When I eventually got my son to school late, only half of his class were in. I hope the surface water on the roads doesn't freeze tonight!
